I'm a little confused with the "shipping penalty". How much (on average) are people paying for a rack? Half Height and/or Full Height... I figured that shipping for such an item would cost about $150 - $250. I'm in the process of ordering a half height one for about $1,600, so I'm not seeing why it's such a big deal. Factoring time taken for 2 employees to drive someplace, pick it up, and return would cost at least $40 on student labor and upwards of $80 for your average newly-hired techies... I figure it's worth it to have it sitting in my office without lifting a finger. Thoughts, Suggestions? -Jeff -----Original Message----- From: MSU Network Administrators Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Kevin M.
